Drum Roll, Please…. Book 2 of the Ripple Effect Romance is UP!
It’s really starting to make waves–er, ripples– now, this Ripple series. We’re on book two already! SILVER LININGS by Kaylee Baldwin. I read an advance copy of this book last week, and, ladies, I tell you, it’s lovely. The characters are just the sweetest. You met Drew Westfall in book one, Home Matters by Julie N. Ford. Now, […]
Well, I’ll Never Do THAT Again
In the fall of 2011 while I was waiting on confirmation that BIG IN JAPAN would be picked up for publication, I joined the rest of the writing world in the ritual known as NaNoWriMo. It’s a weird word, one reminiscent of a bad rhino joke or something Mork From Ork would say, but it’s […]

BIG REVEAL! Book Cover Art
The Brothers Washburn, whose excellent YA horror novel PITCH GREEN scared the heck out of me last year, have a new entry coming out in the campfire story chill-inducement genre: MOJAVE GREEN. I don’t know much about the plot of this little baby, but I do know Pitch Green told the story of a creepy […]
Why February in Phoenix Was the Place to Be
I just returned night before last from the annual ANWA Conference in Phoenix. This is my fifth or sixth year to attend, and I have to reiterate that in February, Phoenix is the place to be. I’m telling you, the weather was fantastic. All you suckas stuck in the snow who opted out of the […]
Newly Available on Kindle: Hopeless Crush
This all started because of a dream I had. In 2006, I had a book published by Spring Creek Book Company. As all traditionally published authors know, the publisher gets the say in the cover and the title of the book. Mine was called A Little Sisterly Advice. It’s the story of Julia Cronquist, a […]
The Worldwide Storytelling Contest, Part 1
This is part one of a two-part post about storytelling. Last month I had a really great opportunity to attend the Screenwriters World Conference West in L.A. in Century City. I cajoled my sister-in-law Julie into going with me at the last minute, and we polished our story pitches during the 9 hour drive through […]
Ta Da! Cover Reveal and Contest for Exciting New Clean Romance Series
Oh, my heck! This thing came up so fast! I had no clue how fast a group of six writing women could work up a whole concept, weave it together, and put it into motion. But voila! I’m really excited to be part of something this amazing and fun. Six novellas, all clean, all by […]
Can Cowboys Write? Can a Brit Shoot a Gun? Can a Cowboy Teach a Brit to Shoot?
Yesterday I got the mail and in it was a package of stuff from my mother dear. Stuffed in among some pictures from the summer (which were truly fun, and I’ll post some someday), was an article she cut out of the newspaper for me. STRANGELY, it was a review/announcement for the very book I […]
The Reluctant Blogger Debuts Today!
My good friend Ryan Rapier is having one of those long-dreamed-of days. His first novel hits the world today! And I feel really lucky and honored that he asked me to join his blog tour and to be the one who touts the book on “The Big Day.” Kudos to Ryan for writing something really […]
